    Thanks again for a great reading. Yeah I really get the Blues Brothers subversion – this really improves on it, as I have really never gotten The Blues Brothers as the plot (what plot there is) never really hung together for me. Fawlty Towers is much more of a draw for me as I do have a real love for the comedy and chaos the can come out of misunderstandings, along with a skewed version of the English. Adored the crazy mash-up of this episode and the climax was quite special with that suspended bridge scene!

    I guess I appreciate what The Blues Brothers was trying to do and I understand why so many people like it, but I agree that it doesn't really work.

    This though is pitch-perfect. That climax is a work of art: I find it and the wedding scene absolutely unforgettable.

    Yeah I guess I do appreciate it too in a way, as I know it's just meant to be a fun romp, which is cool. Totally agree that the climax on this is a sheer genius work of art!
